Why has politicians in several countries allowed farmers and GMO scientists to use living genetically modified organisms outside closed laboratories? Neither the GMO industry, the GMO farmer or the GMO scientist are able to prevent patented genes from spreading to microorganisms in the earth, to conventional and organic plants and to related species. Some GM plants are genetically modified in such way that the plant itself produce toxic proteins in all parts of the plant. Toxic proteins which are ment to kill target pests. Independent science show that many other insects and animals are affected. See this video which point at some worrying issues with the use of GM plants.
